2011 Map of Pillsbury SW

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie potholes define this section of Noltimier Township, where the landscape is dominated by scattered wetlands and intermittent water bodies. Central to this area is the expansive Larson Slough, a significant hydrologic feature that transitions into a network of smaller ponds and marshy pockets. Further north, Crow Lake stands as a distinct landmark amidst the systematic grid of rural roads. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a strictly maintained section-line road network, including 121st Ave SE and 26th St SE, which provide the primary access to these agricultural lands. The map reflects the enduring land-use patterns of Barnes County, where the topography dictates the placement of fields around the naturally occurring sloughs and basins typical of the region.
